Another Hurricane Season Bites the Dust

Anna Maria Island in September...

By late September, summer has come to an end and Anna Maria Island has grown unusually quiet. In fact, in terms of entertainment and special events, September is generally one of the quietest months of the year.

September is also the peak of the hurricane season and more often than not, is one of the most active months of the year weather wise. That is why, its this time of year you'll find yourself (as one resident put it)... "watching the flowers grow, and watching the birds watching the fish".

As reported by the Anna Maria Island Sun:

This Years Bayfest to Feature Kidsfest:

Kids Helping Kids

Bayfest, the something for everybody, start-of-the-season festival on Pine Avenue, presents another bigger and better feature at this year’s event on Saturday, Oct. 17.

It’s called Kidsfest and it’s being put together by Island Dojo’s Kevin Berquist.

“The theme is Kids Helping Kids and it’s really big,” he said. “All the money raised goes toward helping at-risk and abused kids.”

Self Help

Island Players Present Self Help by Norm Foster...

A married couple, of second-rate theater actors no less, re-invent themselves as nationally renowned self-help gurus.

It's the Island Players 61st season and they have quite the line-up scheduled.

Early in the New Year, they present Norm Foster's 'Self Help'.

January 21-February 7, 2010 - 'Self Help' is an Adult Comedy.

Self Help by Norm Foster

Any self-help guru would agree: laughter is the best therapy around! Belly laughs will abound when the curtain goes up for Self-Help, by "Canada's preeminent comic playwright" Norm Foster.

There's a body in the study, a detective in the hall and a nosy Sun reporter prowling the second floor. What are stressed out, self-help gurus Cindy and Hal Savage to do? Have sex on the pool table, of course.

We are in the fantasyland of stage farce. Everything about this wacky Norm Foster comedy is amplified through the distorting lens of a magnificent magnifying glass.
